How to Paint Night Lords Raptors

A painting tutorial for anyone who wants to paint the awesome old metal Raptors for the Chaos Space Marines with a Night Lords color scheme.

You may notice that my energy is a little lower and that I sound like a muppet in this video. Warboss Grover up in this mudd! I think I'm coming down with a cold and I didn't notice it until I was listening to the audio in iMovie lol

I hope you like it!

Could you make night lord raptors with the winged heads

@pipham1 If you have the special Night Lords bitz pack, you sure can! I don't have it, so I can't at this moment, but if they get their rumored "Chaos Legions" book later this year, you can bet these guys will be coming back out again >:)

@ShinKyou918 Yup, thats a great idea. It will give your army an even fluffier feel, as most Night Lords despite religious fanaticism of any kind (Khorne) included, your army will have a distrustful tension between the zerkers, Daemon Prince, and actual Night Lords, which would make it a really interesting army that feels alive and has its own story.

@IzualMTG Another fluff-friendly reason you might include berzerkers is the fear factor. Night Lords love their terror tactics, and they could definitely see the usefulness of a horde of rampaging berzerkers to instill panic in their enemies. Thus, they could've easily wrangled a squad from the already-splintered World Eaters into joining them in a raid - Just keep them in a traditional red & brass color scheme, with a dark blue shoulder pad to show they've been recruited by the Night Lords :p

@IzualMTG AND the stuff they have on their Raptors? So cool! They've pretty much devolved into bird-like sub-humans, with their pack leader being the only one that still has some semblance of sanity, albeit very tenuous and seriously twisted. They were actually the first 40k books I've ever read, and I've been reading 40k books ever since!

@IzualMTG No worries, sir =D Have you read the two Night Lords books? They're full of great fluff and insight into their character. I really like how they tread the line between psychotic, murderous butchers and spurned sons of the Emperor. One of the main character's squad mates is even very obviously being corrupted by Khorne throughout the storyline and their Captain and warleader is quite possessed by a daemon of Tzeentch (I believe it is a Tzeentch daemon...) Great stuff!

@WarbossTae Sweet lol that gives me a perfect reason to use them now :) more good ideas keep pouring out of you :P Keep up the vids and stuff dude youre awesome and your painting tutorials are actually entertaining and dont put me to sleep!

[WarbossTae]

@IzualMTG Thanks!  I'm glad it was some inspiration for you! I think that they have a great background and love the two novels that have already come out for them. You're right about things you can't have in your army, but you could justify those by saying that the demon prince was attracted to the army by the carnage they were causing and wants to tag along for the ride, or you can model and paint the berserkers as Night Lords that Khorne is slowly corrupting them.

[IzualMTG]

This is really awesome and inspiring for me to start a Night Lords army :P I was debating between Emperor's Children and Night Lords, now I know what to do ha. The only thing is the Night Lords don't like Daemon Princes or worship any particular god so I might look the other way when playing berzerkers or whatever lol.
